depending on the quality and paint app of the sword. I am interested if there is a group discount, or lot discount. I would consider getting anywhere from 1 to 8, depending on quality, cost, and paint.

oh... yea, I don't know why that'd be necessary, bc the only use for it is if you have SC, and then you wouldn't need it anyways... the other commanders don't have a hole for the connector to plug into on that piece...

the shadow commander kit IS on my want list but i dunno about buying just the sword. maybe if the sword came with something else, like a better Blaster or something. or better yet, why not some arm attachment that stores the sword someone maybe on his arm?

Personally, I wouldn't buy it. But considering 3rd party items such as Corbot War Axe, which I believe sold at around $15-$17, $15 for a sword is not a bad price....maybe $12 is a little more realistic and doable for most...

If it were a mass produced third party product such as the TFX Armors or something, then no, as $15 for a piece with non-moving parts is way too much. On the other hand, if the production run was much smaller, I could understand, especially if it weren't from a big-time producer like FansProject. In that case, yes I would depending on the quality of said product as the price would be excusable.
